It should be noted that <strong>the</strong> sensor can detect from a<br />
volume as small as 0.0025 ml (one drop or a thin layer)<br />
masses in a solution of 0.1 mg or volumes of 0.0001<br />
ml in ano<strong>the</strong>r alternative substance. Detection can be<br />
carried out in an approximate timeframe of 1 second.<br />
Once <strong>the</strong> detection is complete, <strong>the</strong> sensor can be discarded<br />
for recycling.<br />
